Leners Patent No. 106,506, dated August 16, 1ero.

*doen- BRIEFING-PAN.

The Schedule rferred to :ln thse Letters Patent and making part of the:same` I I, ADAM REID, of Buffalo, in the county ot -Erie and State ofNew York, have invented certain Improvements in Dripping-Pans, of whichthe following-is a specification.` t

The nature of my invention consists in First, combining a revolvingperforated platform for roasting meat, Src., with a dripping-pan.-

Secondly, arranging and constructing the drippingpan so that it mayanswer as well as wae-pan or baking-tin for baking-bread, cake,biscuits, &c.

I refer to thc drawing which makes part of this specication, and inwhich- Figure 1 is a top view, and

Figure 2, a longitudinal section of my improved Letter A in the drawingrepresents a dripping-pan constructed in a peculiar way, having arecessed bottom,.A1, for the reception ot' the fat or gravy, when meator fowls are roasted in the an, said recesses A2 being connected witheach other y means of.' channels or grooves A3.

' Projecting from this bottom A1, in or about its eentcr, is a pivot,A?, upon and 'around which a perforated platform or grate, B, isrevolving. This platform has for its purpose to -receive the meat, fowl,Ste., to be roasted.

Inside the pan, and upon its bottom, is placed a cover, C, which willanswer as baking-tin, 85o.

It may be observed that a pan constructed as aforesaid'will serve mari ypurposesin fact, it isa substitute for most every culinary vessel.

First, may this pan, when the cover C and platform or grate B areremoved, be used as frying-pan for eggs, 85e., or as a waile-pan, or asmeat-master, and has the pan, for this latter purpose, especially theadvantage over auordinary frying-pan, that the meat to be roasted doesnot swim nor lie in the gravy, nor rest all upon the bottom of thefrying-pan, which requires great lattention to prevent the meat fromburning, but that the meat only rests upon the projection of therecessesA2, and, not lying inthe gravy, is thus actually prevented from burning,and is better and more juicy when done than when roasted in an ordinarypan.

Second, will this pan constitute a baking-tin in every particular', andmay, when the cover G is placed in thepau, he used for/baking bread,cake,- biscuit, &Vc., having, however,- the advantage that bread will bebaked better and more even upon this pan than any other,- on account ofthe tin not being in direct Contact with' the plate of the oven, whichburns the bread on its lower sides and leaves it undone ou the upperside; but., beingelevated from the stove-plates, and hot air constantlypassing nnderthe cover C, thus giving the tin an even temperature from"all sides.

Third, it will be observed that, when the revolving grate is put on,this pan is admirably adapted to roasting beef, -veal, or fowl, the samebeing placed upon the grate, which will enable the cook to turn andhandle the meat with-such ease, and so roast lthe same so even, thatthere can be no doubt but this pan is not only a'decided improvement,and supplies a long-felt want, but will` also soon become the favoriteot' all performing culinary duties.

Having thus fully described my invention,

I desire to secure hyLetters Patent- 1. lhe combination of adripping-pan, A, with lthe horizontal revolving perthrated platform orgrate B, for the purposes set forth.

2. Providing a dripping-pun, A, with recessed bottoms A1 and A2,connected, by grooves A3, with pivot A4 and revolving grate B, allconstructed and arranged as desclibed, and for the usesand purposes setforth.
